:) Ihad the same problem and a sparkie mate made up a switch box with a normal on/off switch on the side with a mushroom type kill switch on the front, its a chunky but works well and easy to fit:D

Boyd,

Yep, and I got the same type on my bandsaw as well :~ . Changed the lathe myself to a external with a box. The bandsaw not yet...use the lathe more often.. :U :U
